Darwin Lamb biography vailable for free download

A new biography of Darwin Lamb, a long-time Cedar City resident famous in old Las Vegas as a politician, businessman, cowboy and movie actor, will be available for free download on Amazon.com on October 18 and 19. The book is "Vegas Dynasty: The Story of Darwin Lamb."

Written by Carol Bellhouse, the book tells the story of the Lambs, movers and shakers in a town cutting its teeth on wealth and power. When Bill Lamb was killed in a horse wreck in 1939, his 11 children climbed from tragedy to dominance. Often on horseback and always ready for a good story or a good fight, they were the most powerful family in Las Vegas for five decades. Ralph, the subject of the CBS series "Vegas," and Darwin are the last surviving siblings.
